Classic Mustang MAF SEFI and No Dizzy

please clarify exactly what you are looking to get out of the system

For true sequential AND distributorless, you'll have to go with one of the expensive stand-alone ECU's such as Big Stuff 3, FAST, etc.

If you can live with batch fire, you can go with the MSII ECU for about 1/5th the cost.

in addition, a distributor can be very reliable and still provide excellent performance characteristics. A fully electronic package is still very good

A friend of mine did nearly exactly what you're looking to do with a 351C, but with a MegaSquirt. He used DSM coils, a custom crank trigger, and a modified (cut) distributor so the oil pump would still be driven.

It's not sequential tho... he want's seq.

Then adapt a DSM cam angle sensor to it and feed the MS the signal. He said DIY right?

A little batch injection never hurt anyone.

Megasquirt is doing a sequential system.

i wonder if you could use an explorer DIS system and computer? you'll have to modify the cam sensor housing to work with a clevie but it should be doable. maybe the mass-flo guys would work with you on it? the dual plug Ford rangers also used a DIS system and some were pre OBD-II, not sure if the explorers DIS system was pre-OBD-II or not.

personally, i would just use the mass-flo with a dizzy and use an MSD TFI dizzy instead of the mallory unit that comes with the mass-flo system. the TFI ignition system is pretty darn reliable, especially if you use an aftermarket dizzy, coil and CD ignition box.

The man said he wanted sequential... it's not me you need to convince. The MS doesn't do sequential (yet) no matter what signals you feed it.

If you want to retain the classic look (which I can understand), then why do you want to get rid of the distributor? Most classic Mustangs had a distributor too
You could always paint the cap black.

If the rest of the MassFlo system suits you fine, then I wouldn't make things (a lot) more complicated by going to a distributorless ignition system.

I went to a distributorless system (EDIS 8) and won't ever look back. Better accuracy, more spark energy, more reliable, etc.. lot's of advantages and if you're handy in the garage it can be cheaper than an MSD setup.

I'm not worried about keeping a stock engine appearance. I focus on the look of a classic (from a distance of course) with the benifits of modern technology. Restomod if you will..
